"American" in Movie Titles - Neatorama

The Criticker blog noticed something about movie titles: a lot of them have the word "American" in them. In fact, "American" is by far the most popular nationality in movie titles.

Check out the entire list of movies with the word "American" in their titles: Link - Thanks Juergen!

(Is that surprising? Aren't most movies made in America? Except for Bollywood ... those are in a class by themselves!)

You don't have idea the offensive it is for the other american countries to call America to just a country.

Get a real name for your country.

The term American is what everyone understands to mean, a person from the United States. The is the only country in the Americas with the word America in the official name. If you are from Panama, you are Panamanian. If you are from Canada, you are Canadian. If you are referring to the continents, you distinguish between North and South America. I don't see the issue here, honestly, alguien.

alguien must be from South America. Or Europe. Those are the only regions that can't seem to wrap their brains around the term "American".

I'm a Canadian and I live in North America. But I would never call myself an American! That would just be confusing.
